Starting point is 00:00:31 starts and sits on FFT Express. Okay, there are a lot of injury updates to give you right now, so we're going to start with the quarterbacks. Jordan Love, Heath, is expected to play. Yeah, I would like to see Jordan Love this week against what has been one of the most difficult matchups for opposing quarterbacks. Love ranks as a high-end QB2 for me. I would start him over Deshaun Watson, Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins, Justin Fields. But I would rather start Brockck purdy baker mayfield sam

Starting point is 00:01:06 darnold than loves there it is in that same game sam darnold all right uh justin herbert is expected to play he's got a high ankle sprain that he re-aggravated last week and he'll likely would be without both starting offensive tackles is there anyone including dobbins that you want to start for the chargers uh i was going to would say there was any quarterback that I would start Herbert over, and I think there's one, Jacoby Brissett maybe. J.K. Dobbins is a borderline number two running back. I think I've got him 23rd or 24th, so flexing him feels pretty good. Starting with a number two doesn't feel as good,

Starting point is 00:01:43 and I think Quentin John Johnson is a fine desperation flex. All right. The Dolphins are starting Tyler Huntley. Left tackle Teron Armstead is out. Raheem Mostert has a chance to play. Thoughts on the Dolphins? A-chan is a borderline RB1. Tyree Kill is a wide receiver two in that 15 to 18 range in the rankings.

Starting point is 00:02:10 And I don't want to start anyone else. All right. Ken Walker off the injury report. I'm almost disappointed about this. I hate this matchup. I don't really want to start Walker. I will. I guess I have to look at my Walker leagues, but I'll start him, I guess. But what do you think? I'm also disappointed because I had more Zach Charbonnet than I had Ken Walker. I will. I guess I have to look at my Walker leagues, but I'll start him, I guess. But what do you think? I'm also disappointed because I had more Zach Charbonnet than I had Ken Walker. No, I'd view Ken Walker as the definition

Starting point is 00:02:34 of a number two running back. Like we talked, the Jamie start of the week, Chuba Hubbard, I would prefer to start than Ken Walker. I'm pretty excited about Brian Robinson. I would start him over Ken Walker. But I'm starting Walker over nausea, over Dobbins, over David Montgomery,

Starting point is 00:02:49 over Jerome Ford, over those guys. Yeah. So I'll be deciding between Ken Walker and, and probably Zach Moss. I would start Walker or Rashid Shahid. And Shahid will depend on a lobby, you know?

Starting point is 00:03:02 Yeah. Yeah. So that's where I'm at, but I'm not so sure about Walker over Moss, but I mean, I get it. The matchups are so different. The Lions' run defense has been, I would say, the best in football.

Starting point is 00:03:14 Okay, but that's just where I'm at. And then the other guy I have on that team is Cam Aker. So let's talk about that with Damian Pierce ruled out, Joe Mixon questionable, a game-time decision, not looking great for Mixon. What do you think out Joe Mixon questionable game time decision, not looking great for Mixon. What do you think about if Mixon plays and if he doesn't can't make hers? What do you think?

Starting point is 00:03:31 I'm going to view like if Mixon plays, then I'm going to start Joe Mixon and I'm going to probably, I'm definitely going to bench cam acres. If acres is there without mix and then I'm viewing him as a high end flex. Like I wasn't very excited about starting J.K. Dobbins. I would actually have Akers behind him. Okay, what about Ken Walker versus Mixon? Probably be Walker for me and Mixon's

Starting point is 00:03:54 first game back, especially since Mixon doesn't sound like he's 100%. Do you trust either Buccaneers running back, Rashad White, and he's going to play. He had food poisoning, but he's going to play. Bucky Irving expected to play with a hamstring injury. Again, their right tackle, Luke Gedike, is out. They're facing the Eagles.

Starting point is 00:04:11 I don't want to start either one of them. White is in that acres range. Bucky is still behind him for me, but I do want to make sure that I've got Bucky on the roster because at some point, this could be fully his job. All right, same game. We've got Devontae Smith and A.J. Brown out and right tackle Lane Johnson. Questionable.

Starting point is 00:04:30 He did return to practice. He has to clear concussion protocol, hoping to get him back. But any sleeper wide receivers for the Eagles? I mean, there's sleeper wide receivers for the Eagles. They have Jahan Dotson. They have Paris Campbell. They've got one other guy that i'm not thinking johnny wilson uh none of them rank inside of my top 60 wide receivers so i don't want to start

Starting point is 00:04:53 them chris olave is a game time decision give me the olave shaheed derrick carr scenarios if he plays and if he doesn't so i'm not starting derrick carr Carr. Chris Olave is a number three wide receiver if he goes. I think there's certainly some risk there with a hamstring injury that he just suffered two days ago. If he's out, then I'd view Shahid as a borderline number two. If Olave's in, then Shahid is a low-end number three. Keenan Allen is questionable. I hope he seems optimistic on Keenan Allen,

Starting point is 00:05:23 but what do you think about the Bears against the Rams? Yeah, we're expecting Keenan Allen to play, which makes both DJ Moore and Roma Dunzey worse plays. I currently, having it ranked this way, have Moore as a borderline number two, have Allen as a borderline number three, and have a Dunzey as a boom bust flex. If Keenan Allen plays, would you start him over Chris Olave if Olave plays?

Starting point is 00:05:49 I would not. Okay. Would you start him over Rashid Shaheed if Olave plays? I would. Okay. Would you start Jacoby Myers over all of them? Devontae Adams is going to be week to week with a hamstring. I've got, right now, Myers is one spot behind Chris Olave, but he is ahead of Keenan Allen. He is ahead of Rashid Shaheed.

Starting point is 00:06:07 He is ahead of Roma Dunze. Wide receiver 30 for me. A very, very wide receiver three. Trey Tucker for the Raiders 7% rostered. Had nine targets last week. Had five targets combined in his first two games. Tight end news. George Kittle's going to play.

Starting point is 00:06:24 Start him. But Debo Samuel also. We'll just talk two games. Tight end news. George Kittle is going to play, start him, but Debo Samuel also, we'll just talk about them. Debo Samuel. I am, I am starting Amari Cooper over Debo Samuel. I think some people might just throw him back in the lineup, but I am nervous.

Starting point is 00:06:33 There is a history of Debo coming back from injury and sort of being eased in. You're, what do you think? I think starting Amari Cooper over him is fine, but I have Amari Cooper ranked as a top 20 wide receiver. I would start Debo over Chris Olave. I think that it's a lot of opportunity to look dumb with Debo, Brandon Iyuk, and Juwan Jennings,

Starting point is 00:06:58 but I'm mostly viewing Debo and Iyuk as number two wide receivers and Jennings as a number three. Okay. And no, Evan Ingram, no David to Joku, but Sam Laporta will play. Where do you have Sam Laporta ranked?

Starting point is 00:07:12 It doesn't matter. She's 100% in the Mark Andrews, Travis Kelsey, Dalton Kincaid. I don't care. I'm just starting them group. He's at the back of that group. I think he's around tight in nine tight in 10. I'm just starting them group. He's at the back of that group. I think he's around

Starting point is 00:07:25 tight in nine, tight in 10. I'm not starting any streamers over him. There's nothing really to be encouraged about even when he was healthy so far this season, but you're probably starting him because you drafted him in round three. If you picked up Dallas Goddard, you can sit Sam Laporta. All right, we're going to take a late break here and answer some questions when we come back. We'll be right back on FFT Express. Did you know that across Ontario, utility damage happens 19 times a day? That's over 4,222 incidents a year. Don't let your next dig be one that causes costly delays or safety risks. Before you break ground, make it a point to request a locate. It's not just the law. It's a step to keep your team and community safe. Visit OntarioOneCall.ca and avoid unnecessary

Starting point is 00:08:11 damages to get the job done right. Data sourced from the ORCGA 2023 Dirt Report. All right, welcome back. Here we go. Laporta or Comet? Laporta. Baker or Purdy? Ooh, that one might have just changed. Yeah, Purdy. Okay, yeah, I didn't ask you about that. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:08:30 Who do I sit if Debo plays? I'll just put Debo in there with McLaurin, Deontay, and Drake London. I would sit Terry. Okay. Bucky Irving, Roshan. Pick up Roshan Johnson, everybody. This could be the beat the waiver wire guy. He's still available in leagues. Bucky Irving, Roshan Johnson, or Xavier Liget? I would go Bucky Irving, Roshan, pick up Roshan Johnson. Everybody. This could be the beat the waiver wire guy. He's, he's still available in leagues.

Starting point is 00:08:46 Bucky Irving, Roshan Johnson, or Xavier Lee get, I would go Bucky Dotson or DJ more. Is there a different more? It could be Elijah more. It could be.

Starting point is 00:08:59 I would definitely start DJ more over, over Dotson. And I think I would, I would start, um, Dotson, and I think I would start Dotson over Elijah Moore. Shahid, Josh Jacobs, or Zach Moss? I am going with Jacobs.

Starting point is 00:09:14 Jacobs, regardless. All right. Xavier Worthy, DeAndre Hopkins, or Cam Akers? I will go with Akers. As long as Mixon is out. If not, it's Hopkins. Okay. Richardson or Purdy? In four

Starting point is 00:09:30 point, it's definitely Richardson. In six point, I'll go Purdy. Olave, Christian Watson, Romo Dunze, Carson Steele. Pick one. If Olave plays, it's him. If he doesn't, it's Steele. Pollard or

Starting point is 00:09:48 Nashi Harris? I'll go Pollard. Let's see. What do we got here? Garrett Wilson or Deontay Johnson? We did not expect this answer, but I'm starting Deontay. There you go. And one more here. Two more. Jennings or Reid in the

Starting point is 00:10:05 flex? So, I'm going with Jaden Reid. If Olave is out, Shahid or Shakir? Shahid. Okay. If Olave is in, Shahid or Shakir? I have Shakir

Starting point is 00:10:21 one spot ahead of Shahid with Olave in. There we go. All right, that's Heath Cummings. I'm Adam Azer. We'll talk to you at 11.30 a.m. Eastern. If you need your questions answered, go to youtube.com slash fantasyfootball today, 11.30 a.m. Eastern.
